Title: Contaminant removal from a sorbent
Inventor: COMBES GARY BEVAN
IPC: B01D11/04
Filed: 2011-10-27
Abstract: A process for the removal of contaminants from a sorbent comprises the step of applying a carbon dioxide stream in which the carbon dioxide is present in the liquid phase or supercritical phase, to the contaminated sorbent in a sorbent vessel 10, 12 to remove the contaminant from the sorbent and form a contaminant-laden carbon dioxide stream and a decontaminated sorbent. Preferably the contaminant-laden carbon dioxide stream is recovered from the sorbent vessel and fed to a separation vessel 34, 38 in which the pressure is reduced to cause separation of the contaminant from a depressurised gaseous carbon dioxide. A depressurised gaseous carbon dioxide stream 42, 44 and a separate contaminant stream may then be recovered from the separation vessel 36, 40. The recovered depressurised carbon dioxide may be re-pressurised and fed back to the sorbent vessel. Advantageously, the process may be used for the regeneration of contaminated sorbents and recovering glycol for reuse in the gas field.

Title: Fluid motors having rocking pistons and control valves
Inventor: BENEST ROGER SYDNEY
IPC: F01B19/00
Filed: 2012-02-08
Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid motor comprising a tubular wall 1 with internal dividing walls 2,3,4 so as to form a number of cavities arranged around the inside of the tubular wall. A piston 8, 9, 10 occupies part of the space of each cavity and divides the free space of that cavity into first and second chambers. Each piston can rock so that its chambers expand and contract. A camshaft 11 or the like can rotate relative to the tubular wall and engage the pistons so as to transform rotary movement of the camshaft into rocking movement of the pistons or vice versa. A valve arrangement permits fluid to flow from an inlet into each chamber while that chamber is expanding and to flow from each chamber to an outlet while that chamber is contracting. The device may be made as a miniature fluid pump and used for cooling of CPUs in electronic devices.

Title: Electrical distribution board safety isolator
Inventor: BAKER ANDREW PURDIE
IPC: H01H9/22
Filed: 2012-07-25
Abstract: An electrical distribution board comprises an incoming conductor terminal connected to a longitudinal bus conductor 14 that is connected to a lateral conductor tab 15 for distributing electrical power. An isolation mechanism 16 electrically isolates an outgoing conductor terminal 12 from the lateral tab 15 and engages with a housing 18 of the electrical distribution board so that its movement to a position where the outgoing conductor terminal is connected to the lateral tab is only possible once it has been disengaged from the housing of the electrical distribution board. The isolator may also engage the housing so that movement to the isolated position is only possible once the mechanism has been disengaged from the housing. The isolator may include a body (fig 8, 26) housing a moving conductor (fig 8, 30) to connect the tab 15 and the outgoing terminal 12. The isolator body can have an engagement portion 34 that disengages a complementary portion of the housing 18 when a resilient part (fig 8, 28) is deformed. Part of the isolator 16 can cover a terminal of a circuit breaker 24 attached to a mounting rail when it connects the tab to the outgoing terminal. The isolator reduces a risk of accidental electrocution.

Title: Method for producing fried foodstuffs with reduced oil content
Inventor: KHAN AHMED NADIM
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 2010-10-06
Abstract: Fried foodstuffs, such as potato chips, with reduced oil content are produced in a continuous fryer by providing steam at greater than atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of at least 100 0C over at least part of the conveyor 7 that removes the foodstuff from the oil.

Title: Managing communication between different communication protocol networks
Inventor: DICKENS LOUIE
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2011-09-27
Abstract: In a method for facilitating communication between different communication protocol networks, a first adaptor implements a first communication protocol and a second adaptor implementing a converged network protocol, wherein the converged network protocol facilitates communication of packets encoded with a second communication protocol with a third communication protocol network. Parameters are configured in a memory for communication between the first adaptor and the second adaptor in the converged network protocol to indicate to the second adaptor that the converged network protocol is supported, wherein the first adaptor does not support the converged network protocol. A packet is received at the first adaptor encoded in the second communication protocol directed to the third communication protocol network. The packet is forwarded to the second adaptor to forward to the third communication protocol network. A command is received at the second adaptor, directed to the first adaptor, to implement a function in the converged network protocol for communication between the first and second adaptors. Operations are performed to implement the function using the parameters in the memory to support transmission of packets between the first and the second adaptors.
